Naah! They have enough breath left to start over for another go.

I wish I'd joined 'em before I wound up with emphysema. I'm sure it would have been more enjoyable than a cigarette.

Joe, My apostrophe went and sought legal counsel...pointing out the he was merely replacing an "i", therefore not an 'Illegal alien', He's claiming that he was not trying to show that the 'hat' did not posses him.....Rather, that "Hat's off" could also be written "Hat IS off"...so the case is on 'appeal'.

Going to comment a bit better on a couple of other posts...thought of some good shit to point out some differences...as in, though the general area of the brain lights up more, it doesn't not necessarily mean that the 'paths' traveled by them was the same....though, their could be similarities is 'euphoric' sensations....but they would all be distinctly different....and there are.....as in the difference between peyote experience, and an orgasm, as opposed to that which you get while meditating...or music...ALL light up that area, but ALL are distinct from each other.
Unless you've experienced them in a way that you actually have those different 'feelings', then the thought of them all being the same, is just a wrong 'idea'....and all it is is just an idea.....arrived at using less amount of brain at that!...Nope, not the same!

For what it's worth...but respectfully,

GfS

JtS... my thoughts and prayers to you re the op on accounta (as you know) I really do care about you and your dear one.

Re... "Then he when wildebeest on me." Yup, and I'll do it again if you fuck with me again. Let's get that REAL clear THIS time.

Jeri... again, apologies but you have known me for a while and, well, nothing has changed. Still pretty much a dumb gnu.

I notice that joe s pals are the instrumentally challenged and talent free old guys who sing in church basements and sagely tell them selves that those ethnic musicians who get paid aren't "real" folk.

that's pretty much what anglo folk is all about. creating cliques. of course they have no relevance to anyone any other way. at least they are relavant to each other that way

many of you may find gnus out bursts charming, but I liv in new Brunswick where his particular form of redneck intolerance is a constant threat to over throw our very very hard won social peace between the French and English. out province is almost half and half and our city the same. there were decades when the French were without the most basic social services that English could take for granted and decades n=before that when vigilante mobs took over acadien villages to impose "justice" in several famous cases.

after much travaille now we have relative social peace. however it is constantly threatened by people like gnu who are prepared to let their anger be their belief rather than compassion or reason.

furthermore, even more decades ago the French were ethnically cleansed by americans and british violent racists. but then americans never apologize for a little genocide or ethnic cleansing. can you say Guatemala?

ollaimh... your posts in the past have proven you to be what you are. This latest one is no different. I understand what you say about the past as I am half Irish and half French and live in NB too. But, I reject your claims of the present, as I have in the past. I am far more tolerant of others than you. I am a not a racist... you are. You and your ilk are the problem in Canada's only officially bilingual province. The likes of you spread hatred and divisiveness for the sake of your own gain in stirring up shit where there is none to begin with. You should be ashamed of yourself.

YOU are the threat. And it makes me sad and angry.

BTW... that shit really pisses off my French relatives (mother, aunts, uncles). They have to deal with with the likes of you spewing your garbage... it embarrasses them.

And your posts piss me off to no end.

well gnu pissed off is your natural state. that's part of the bigotry, or better said why you think your bigotry and ignorance are ok, because you are angry.

really you are just full of hate

I might add for the "folk collectors" they are the instrumentally challenged and talent free but they can be the leaders! and the cops!

the real musicians need their policing and leadership eh?

the folk "leader are parasites who luckily are more and more marginalized and irrelevant every day. they used to hold court and power at folk fests and clubs but they are so boring even their friends can rarely stand to listen to them.

pedantry is it's own reward

Wow the whole Atlantic war and ethnic cleansing thing all laid at the feet of one guy because he got pissed off because I misunderstood his comments about spiritualism?

You think gnu has the power to start another exile of the French?

I think he should try it, just to see if he can.

I can just picture Robbie Robertson picking up his Juno award.

Ollaimh, what is "Anglo" folk? Do you mean English folk? If so, describing it as "instrumentally challenged and talent free old guys who sing in church basements and sagely tell them selves that those ethnic musicians who get paid aren't 'real' folk" is utter nonsense, as a quick look at what is happening on the English folk scene will tell you. And over here English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh singers and musicians will happily play together. Perhaps this tribal animosity is a North American habit?

Sadly Ollaimh your may have genuine things to say but like many who are here now your vicious nastiness stops people from listening.

There are times I could willingly pit Gnu ower ma knees and skelp him for bein glaikit but I know him to be one of the finest people on this site, a genuinely caring loving friend does not judge people by race creed or colour. My fault that I do not get to talk to him as often as I once did but I will not stand back and see someone who quite obviously does not know anything about him.


I would remind you of the words of my National poet Robert Burns

"O ye wha are sae guid yoursel',
Sae pious and sae holy,
Ye've nought to do but mark and tell
Your neibours' fauts and folly!
Whase life is like a weel-gaun mill,
Supplied wi' store o' water;
The heaped happer's ebbing still,
An' still the clap plays clatter.

Hear me, ye venerable core,
As counsel for poor mortals
That frequent pass douce Wisdom's door
For glaikit Folly's portals:
I, for their thoughtless, careless sakes,
Would here propone defences-
Their donsie tricks, their black mistakes,
Their failings and mischances.

Ye see your state wi' theirs compared,
And shudder at the niffer;
But cast a moment's fair regard,
What maks the mighty differ;
Discount what scant occasion gave,
That purity ye pride in;
And (what's aft mair than a' the lave),
Your better art o' hidin.

Think, when your castigated pulse
Gies now and then a wallop!
What ragings must his veins convulse,
That still eternal gallop!
Wi' wind and tide fair i' your tail,
Right on ye scud your sea-way;
But in the teeth o' baith to sail,
It maks a unco lee-way. "

The poem ends with this good advice

"
Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Tho' they may gang a kennin wrang,
To step aside is human:
One point must still be greatly dark, -
The moving Why they do it;
And just as lamely can ye mark,
How far perhaps they rue it."
